The Prisoners Union (Serikat Tahanan) was officially assembled on July 17 2023, started by the initiatives of six inmates from six correctional institutions in Indonesia. Now, Serikat Tahanan represents eleven detainees ranging from arsoning cases, vandalism for incitement to riots, and marijuana and other types of drug use.

We have been writing, or at least learning to write, our own experiences and thoughts inside the prison. We want to publish these writings but, of course, we don’t have money. Indonesia's corrupt prison system provides inadequate food rations and forces prisoners to pay for it themselves. All these time we have been living off solidarity from comrades outside prison as it's almost impossible for us to work. Lack of funds and bribe-ridden prison conditions worsen our lives and hamper our writing project. We will use the proceeds from book sales to run the program that has been determined and run by the prisoners themselves.

Therefore we ask the international anti-authoritarian activists, anarchists, anti-fascists and abolitionist networks to stand in solidarity in our efforts to publish our writings.

A feat of engineering in what is now China was accomplished without a centralized power. This complex ceramic drainage system was found without corresponding evidence of an elite or centralized authority.

According to Wikipedia:

In an Instagram post in July 2023, Coppola stated that the film had been heavily influenced by the books Bullshit Jobs, Debt: The First 5000 Years, and The Dawn of Everything - all works of the anthropologist David Graeber - as well as by The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse.

Heya folks, since there were already a number of anarchism instances across the lemmyverse, I thought it might be a good idea to make the one on SLRPNK a bit distinct with an explicit inclusion of social ecology into this community. Social ecology, after all, is a bit like solarpunk but also social scientific and political-theoretical. It includes many of the direct democratic aspirations alongside discussions of the liberatory and ecological role of technology.

This booklet provides an excellent introduction to social ecological theory as practiced by the Democratic Self-Governance of Northern Syria or Rojava.

I believe our cities should belong to us. They should be cooperative, co-creative, ecological, and egalitarian spaces, by and for the people. We have so much untapped urban potential just waiting to be explored. Join me as we determine how to build a solarpunk city.

The ‘right to the city’, as a slogan, a demand, and a body of intellectual work, calls for a radically democratic city. It comes from the work of Henri Lefebvre – French philosopher, Marxist, sociologist, flamboyant revolutionary – from a short piece that came out in 1968, that canonical year in left wing mythology. The right to the city is an appealing idea, because it promises to unite disparate urban struggles on a whole range of issues – from anti-gentrification activism to reclaim the streets marches, community gardens to housing co-ops, anti-police violence campaigns to the fight for better public transport, and so on – into some kind of radical whole; a vision that coalesces around the demand for a city that is more substantially controlled by those who live in it.

Here, we have hurriedly translated three statements from Russian anarchist groups. All of them, of necessity, are underground groups. The first is based in Siberia; the second is the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization, which we interviewed last year; and the third is the editorial collective of Avtonom, arguably Russia’s most significant surviving anarchist publishing platform.

Why are there anarchists—who are anti-statist and aim for the destruction of the very roots of statist systems—that support the independence of West Papua and the creation of a new State there?
